" "It's insulting, it's demeaning. This woman is going to insult these young heroes by just arbitrarily saying, 'no, you're not going to film any Marines on California Street," said Captain Greg Corrales of the SFPD Traffic Bureau.
Captain Greg Corrales commands the police traffic bureau that works with crews shooting commercials, TV shows and movies in the city. He's also a Marine veteran and his son is serving his third tour of duty in Iraq.
He says Film Commission Executive Director Stefanie Coyote would only allow the Marine's production crew to film on California Street if there were no Marines in the picture. They wound up filming the empty street and will have to superimpose the Marines later. "
I heard that Kalifornia is getting less tolerant towards its own military for some time but I didn't know that they would go so far to ban them from filming on streets that lots of other production crews have used.
Wow! When The Army changed their recruiting message to Army Strong I absolutely loved the video they put out. But this...this is why the Marine's never have trouble meeting their recruitment goals. Its been a constant message for decades.

Was this the video that San Francisco's city government (AKA the People's Commissars of San Francisco) would not allow to be filmed downtown?
